The Healdsburg Museum has a wonderful and plentiful original
historical photograph collection. There are thousands of photos
related to various subjects, including: agriculture, athletics,
buildings, downtown, people and families, houses, transportation,
Russian River, schools, stores and more! For the past several
years the Museum has been working on a photo preservation project,
in which all of the original photographs in the Museum's collection
are scanned into a computerized database. In addition to the
database itself, a CD-ROM archive and hard copies are being created.
Currently (as of 2010) we have scanned approximately 13,300
photographs out of the estimated 15,000 in the collection.
Additional volunteers are always welcome to speed up this effort.
Contact Research Curator Holly Hoods if you are interested in this activity.
The Museum’s photograph collection is available to the public for
research, educational and professional use. Please see the
Research
Section for details on reproducing and using photographs.
We deeply appreciate the City of Healdsburg for funding a new
storage cabinet designed and built to better house our paintings,
framed photos and other similar objects. Collections Manager,
Meredith Dreisbeck, has shifted the relevant objects into the new
cabinet, with proper archival protective materials placed to further
protect them. The new cabinet has been installed within our
first floor storage room at the Museum.
